1. Chisel
- Features a sharp, 90-degree corner on the cutting tooth. Offers the fastest cutting speed and is ideal for softwood (e.g., pine), but requires frequent sharpening.
- Representative Model: Husqvarna X-Cut S83G, compatible with 3/8″ pitch and .050″ gauge.
2. Semi-Chisel
- Features a rounded corner on the cutting tooth. Provides greater durability and is better suited for hardwood (e.g., oak) and dirty or abrasive wood. Requires less frequent maintenance.
- Representative Model: Stihl PICCO 3/8″ chain, fits 16-20 inch guide bars.
3. Chipper
Features a deeply rounded cutting tooth that produces wood chips rather than flakes. Suitable for applications requiring a finer finish (e.g., wood carving), but operates at a lower efficiency.
